 Intro: Dsus2/B - Dsus2/F# - G - A
 
 Verse 1:
 
 Am                G                  D     
  The air that you breathe it must be poison
 Bm                        A            G    
  And you're dressed up in your best disguise
 
 Bridge 1:
 
   Dsus2/F#                 G             
 I don't want to hear what you have to say
      Dsus2/F#                 G           
 It's there in your eyes when you look away
       Dsus2/F#              G     E/Ab  A  
 These beautiful words are turning into lies
 
 Chorus 1:
 
 Em          A           D 
 How can you say that to me
 
 Verse 2:
 
 Am                    G                   D     
  The light that still shines is just an illusion
 Bm             A                 G   
  Just a memory from a burned out star
 
 Bridge 2:
 
     Dsus2/F#              G          
 Its promise has come from so far away
      Dsus2/F#                      G            
 It's fighting through sadness and years of decay
 Dsus2/F#                 G    E/Ab        A  
 Oh and it's a wonder it ever made it this far
 
 Chorus 2:
 
          Em          Dsus2/F#    G A 
 Well now how can you say that to me
       Em           Dsus2/F#    G        A    
 After all of those secrets you let me believe
            Am         G                 Gm            Dsus2/F# 
 There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe
          Em          G       
 Well now how can you say that
 
 Bridge 3:
 
 Bm             F#m                          G 
  It's not this silence that screams in my mind
            Em            A         Bm  
 Each day I feel like I'm falling behind
           F#m                      G   
 Living in shadows, still getting burned
             Gm        
 When will I ever learn
 
 Chorus 3:
 
          Em          Dsus2/F#    G A 
 Well now how can you say that to me
       Em           Dsus2/F#    G        A    
 After all of those secrets you let me believe
            Am         G                 Gm            Dsus2/F# 
 There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe
          Em          G           D 
 Well now how can you say that to me
